The Traveller’s Dash, 9 September 2017

Clashes with other races and the Penistone Show, together with shocking weather, resulted in a very disappointing turnout for the inaugural ‘Traveller’s Relay’, organised by Gary and Caroline Dean. It was decided that the event would be better as a straightforward race, with 11 individual entries, rather than a relay with 3 teams. All agreed it was an excellent course and should be run again on a better day.

Northern Athletics Track & Field – Wakefield – 5 August 2017

Results from the final Northern Athletics Track and Field Division 4EC fixture at Wakefield. Fantastic result with the club finishing 2nd overall, Gareth winning the 5000m, 9 PBs, 8 club records broken and another 6 club records set.

Northern Track & Field League Meet #2

Yesterday saw the club take part in the second of four Northern Track and Field league meets. Unlike last time it was a real struggle to find members willing to take part, this mean certain events were left empty or only had one competitor, making it harder for the club to score points, this was a real shame as those who made the journey, either came away with personal bests or set club records. 7 new records set and 10 previous records broken (Thanks Paul for working that stat out).

A massive thanks to the following who all played their part in making sure we finished 6th despite having a smaller squad. Our team on the day: Dawn Broom, Valentina Wright, Annie Lightowler, Caroline Dean, John Broom, Paul Fryers, Peter Knight, Gary Dean, Tom Fryers, Keith Gordon and myself.

White Peak Trail

A longer trail running event on the footpaths, tracks and trails within the spectacular surroundings of the Southern Peak District including Thorpe, Dovedale, Milldale plus the Tissington Trail. Choice of 26.4 km/16.4 miles or 10.7 km/ 6.7 miles. The Walch’s took part in the longer distance.

Trunce race #4

This past Monday night was the forth of the Trunce races, a warm Monday evening saw Damian Kiplin lead the seniors home finishing 5th overall. 43 Seniors took part in the main race and 10 Juniors took part in the junior race.

Hathersage Hurtle

The Hathersage Hurtle is an exciting new event in the Hope Valley, covering 20 miles and 2,500 feet of ascent, a challenging course that you can run or walk. 3 runners from the club took part with Gareth Cooke finishing 2nd overall.

Mount Famine

Five miles and some steep climbs up and around Mount Famine and South Head. Another bumper turnout for this challenging AS race. A bit damp from the off and decidedly soggy for the tail-enders. Sam Tosh was first back and Elizabeth Smith was first woman – congratulations to them.

May Queen

A three mile trot up Lantern Pike from the Scout Hut. A record turnout for the 30th running of this race and every entrant got a special commemorative coaster. Simon Bailey was first back and Caitlin Rice was first woman, just a second outside the record. Conditions were good and there was an excellent turnout of juniors.

Askern 10k

Last night was the fastest local 10k race and it could well be the last time it’s run on this route, due to a proposed housing development on part of the existing route. Members of the club were out in force with loads of new PB’s and category wins. Well done to all those who raced.

Montane Trail 26

The third race in the 2017 Montane Trail Tour is nestled amongst the rolling Howgills on the Yorkshire side of the Yorkshire/Cumbria Boarder and the small, picturesque town of Sedbergh acts as the start and finish. Well done to our very own Jane Williams.

Yorkshire Track & Field 5000m Champs

This weekend was the Yorkshire Track and Field Championships over at Cudworth, with events taking place on both days. The 5ooom took place late Sunday afternoon and yours truly took part. Despite missing the bulk of my training week due to a tight hamstring, I still wanted to have a taste of 5000m on the track. I wasn’t in top form I still put in a shift to clock 17:41.

Holymoorside 10k

Yesterday was the Holymoorside 10k a popular local 10 that is basically uphill first half and downhill the second. Yesterday runners also had to contend with running up hill into a headwind. Mark Riordan was our only runner finishing 44th overall.

Leeds Half Marathon

Yesterday saw the 2nd of the Yorkshire marathon series races, first was the Sheffield HM and the 3rd and final one is the York marathon, sandwiched inbetween is the undulating Leeds half won by Mohammad Aburezeq who also won last weekends North Lincs HM! Gareth Cooke continued his impressive run of results with a strong 76:58 to clock 12th overall and Shelley Gill also ran clocking a strong sub 2 hour half marathon time.

Cressbrook Crawl 10k

Saturday saw half a dozen club members take part in this years Cressbrook crawl 10k. The Cressbrook Crawl is the annual registered FRA fell race which takes place in early May. The course starts and finishes at Cressbrook Club, and is essentially a loop around the Wye Valley. Brent Lindsay, Ian Charlesworth, Pete Stanley, Lee Bridgewater, Sarah Jane-Morris who was 3rd lady overall and Barbara Haigh.

Penistone 5 miler

The final race of the SYCAA 5 mile road race series took place Wednesday night and we hosted it. A massive thank you first to all those who helped volunteer and marshaled the event to make the race a success. The club was once again out in force. As it was the final race of the series, afterwards the series winners were crowned.

Massive congratulations to Scott Hinchcliffe for winner the overall senior mens title and in 3rd place was Gareth Cooke. Our senior mens team finished 2nd overall behind Totley, so well done to all our senior men who helped us to fantastic position and proving our club is now a force on the local road race scene, lets hope we can do just as well next month at the Dam Flask Relays.

Trunce race #3

This past Monday night was the third of the Trunce races. Damian Kilpin was first back for the seniors in 3rd place overall. 46 Seniors took part in the main race and 12 Juniors took part in the junior race.

Age UK 5k

As well as the Bluebell trail race, this race was added as an alternative trail race. Thing is it was the Rotherham parkrun in reverse, so technically was more of a road race….opps! Anyway club members were out in force. Well done to all those involved.

Bluebell Trail

Today saw not one but two counters in the club champs, this sold out really fast so a second race was added over in Rotherham. In this race 6 members of the club took part in a tough 10 mile multi terrain race. 1st back for the club was Martin Ball, well done to all who raced.

Northern Track & Field League

Yesterday saw the club make it’s debut in the Northern Track and Field league. As this was our first year we’ve been placed in Division 4 with our aim to show that we can hold our own. Getting a team together was no easy task with members jumping in and out, with injuries and other commitments and even on the day we had to change a few events round with those who attended stepping up and doing events they had never done before.

Club records we set, personal best were made and the team supported and cheered all day despite the cold, blustery conditions. A massive thanks to the following who all played their part in making sure we finished 5th on our debut with the provisional results giving us 253 points. Our team on the day: Dawn Broom, Valentina Wright, Miriam Simpson, Megan Button, Annie Lightowler, Caroline Dean, Teresa Wall, Sarah Hayes, John Broom, Shaun Dimelow, Paul Fryers, Peter Knight, Gareth Cooke, Anthony Wright, Gary Dean, Tom Fryers, Keith Gordon and myself.

Tigers Todger

The local hosted Totley AC fell race took place last night. It has a distance of approximately 9.6 km (5.7 miles) with a total climb of around 259 metres (850 feet). It is therefore a category B Short race. % runners from the club took part with Lesley Latchem first back for the club.

Maltby Memorial Dash

As well as the Spencers Dash last night, it was the 2nd race in the KMR series over in Maltby, a tough 6.5 mile multi terrain race that has a bit of everything in it, Kelvin was our only runner last night. Well done to him.

Spencers Dash Race #2

Last night was the second in this years Spencers Dash road series. This 3.75m race has it all, a fast start, a lumpy middle, some off road section and a tough finish. Well done to all club members who took part and well done to Garth Cooke who continues is rich vein of form with his second win in 3 days.
Club results:

Milton Keynes Marathon

The Milton Keynes marathon festival of running took place Sunday and Monday. With the main race being the marathon, that takes in all that the city has to offer. The big news is our very own Gareth Cooke won the race in a new personal best and club record time of 2:40:06 beating some well known names including Adam Holland who won the recent Boston Marathon, he also bagged £200 for 1st place in Up and running vouchers! If you like a read then check out Gareth’s blog report: https://therunningmaninblue.wordpress.com/2017/05/01/milton-keynes-marathon/

Dronfield Town 10k

The annual Dronfield Town 10k took place this past May Day bank holiday, this is a seperate and smaller event and not to be confused for the Dronfield 10k that took place in March. Overallo 220 took part in our 10k and Fun Run, including our very own Mark Riordan who despite being sent wrong way and covering 6.5 miles still finishied in top 30.

Three Peaks

The Three Peaks Race is a fell race held annually on the last weekend in April, starting and finishing in Horton in Ribblesdale. The course traverses the Yorkshire Three Peaks. The present distance is about 23 miles.
Club results:

Cake Race

The cake race took place today, this category B fell race was over approx 9.9 miles and had 1699ft of climbing and has one of the best race descriptions ever.

an interesting moorland course with as much cake as you like to eat at the end. Who could ask for more? The course takes in open moorland scenery, industrial heritage, and Pennine farmland all in a hour or so. It is mainly on flagged paths, tracks and trails with the challenge of going over the Pennines and back.

The first mile or so is up hill onto the moors, which is very runnable, we call the path boat lane, since it was build to take the horses from the canal barges over the hills. Once up on the Moors you take the flagged path to Brun Cough Reservoir. The course is fast at this point, although care is needed as the flagstones can be slippy. The route splits the reservoirs at Wessenden Head and turns down toward Marsden where you can run fast down towards Marsden. The hardest part is yet to come as runners meet a long flight of stone steps that sweeps them down the side of the dam only to return them up a similar flight on the other side! Save a bit of energy for the climb back up onto the Moors, against the prevailing wind, you will be rewarded with stunning views across Marsden Moor.

The track brings runners back to the top of Boat Lane and a good long run into the finish where cakes and tea await all finishers.

All Runners are invited to bring a cake which will be entered into the Cake contest. Prizes for best tasting and best decoration. This is a tough race and you’ll really feel like you’ve earned the cake afterwards.

parkrun 29/4

18 club age category firsts & 9 PB’s some very good performances, well done all over 8 different parkruns around the country. Remember you need to do all 5 different parkruns (Barnsley, Concord, Hillsborough, Nostell & Rother Valley) + a wildcard parkrun to be in the NEW parkrun competition.

Brodsworth 5 miler

The third of the SYCAA Road Race League took place last night over in Brodsworth. The course had changed slightly compared to last year and most mentioned it was quicker. The senior mens team are chasing Totley for the mens team award with both Scott H and Gareth C both chasing individual awards. Scott made it 3 wins out of 3 with everyone from club having a very good run.

Photos taken by Keith Gordon are on our Facebook group, any issues with your time please let David Needham know.

Salford 10k Road Race

The main race round these parts on Good Friday is the very fast and popular Salford 10k, a two lap course brings out the top chaps from clubs on both sides on the Pennines. The top 25 all posted sub 33 times. For us we had one runner in the form of Gareth Cooke, who was also racing for the 4th time since Sunday. He officially got a brand new PB.

Bridlington Easter 5 Dash

The Easter weekend is upon us and that means 4 days of racing, to kick things off was the now annual Bridlington East 5 mile dash, with medals and eggs for finishes. Two runners from the club took part Matt Coldwell and David Needham, who was racing his 4th race since Sunday, proving that age is but a number!

Worsbrough 5 miler

The second of the South Yorkshire 5 mile road races took place last night, at Worsbrough. Massive thanks to Steel City Striders and Keith Binney for putting it on and the Barnsley Harriers for marshaling the race.

Any issues with your time etc please let David Needham know ASAP.

Trunce race #2

This past Monday night was the second of the Trunce races. Remember it is your responsibility to makes sure you are in correct age category and have us down as your club.

Hornsea One-third Marathon

Mini report courtesy of David Needham “A top performance from Richard after his disappointment last week.
It was certainly hot for early April, with a good field of 360 runners. Personally I wasn’t happy with my run – legs tight and for the second week I had a heavy nose bleed … but I managed to set a V70 Club Record!” This is the official British National One-Third Marathon Championship so it’s a prestigious race to take part in.

Plusnet Yorkshire Half Marathon

The popular Sheffield half marathon (or to give it’s correct title the Plusnet Yorkshire Half Marathon)took place yesterday. A tough race with the new route now in it’s 3rd year taking runners out of the city centre up to edge of the Peak District then a fast second half back to a city centre finish. A great race for those who like something a little different from their races, locals come out in force for this one so makes it a popular one for charity runners. The club had a strong turn out with 7 finishers led home by new boy Gareth Cooke

Vale of York 10

Pavilion Gardens 5K

In the words of Dawn Broom, A free race with times that go on Po10 – go on then. The 2nd Saturday of every month Buxton AC hold a 5k in Pavilion Park, Buxton and they do not charge! Anyone can go, they give you a token when you finish and they then record your details for the results. The Brooms both took part with John first V45 and Dawn 1st lady overall. Well done to both

Chicken Run

Ian Charlesworth was also in fell action on Saturday when he took part in the Chicken Run over in Hayfield, a 5.8 mile race with over 1056ft of climbing was no Aprils fool. Ian said it had a bottle neck start but plenty of opportunities for overtaking afterwards. He finish 3rd V50.

Bunny Run #1

Yes folks, it’s Bunny time, the series of races started on Tuesday evening 4th April at 7pm, with a chocolate prize list even a chocoholic would have problems coping with!

Sportisimo Prague Half Marathon

While majority of the club was either doing a parkrun, doing a fell race or preparing for a big Sunday race, a group of members spent the weekend in Prague to do the half marathon in very warm conditions.

Lodge Moor 5 miler

This past Wednesday night was the first of the SYRRL 5 mile races. This year the club had a huge turnout with 37 runners pulling on the club vest and was led home in style with Scott Hinchcliffe winning the race against a strong long field, in testing conditions. Well done not only to Scott on a big win but on everyone who raced Wednesday night. Any issues with your time etc please let David Needham know ASAP.

Pete Hartley Memorial Liver Hill

The 7km fell race in Memorial of Pete Hartley, hosted by Rossendale Harriers took place Tuesday night, The route is approx 4.3 miles with 802ft of climbing. One member of the club ventured over the hill to take place. Well done to Jon Waller on another strong performance.

Trunce race #1

The new season of the Trunce got under way last and our club was once again out in force. Steve Storey has asked members to remember to put down PFRAC as your club as some of you are showing up as being unattached and as this race is a Fell race it counts in the clubs Fell League and only those who put the club down will be counted.

On that note well done to all those who race, the club was led home by Scott Hinchcliffe who finished 3rd overall, in the juniors the youngsters were led home by Hugh Mackie.

The Monsal Trail Half Marathon

The Monsal trail half marathon races happened this past weekend with races both days. Members of our club took part in races on both days. The first running of this event could not have asked for better weather on both days. Saturday saw Karen Schofield and Jane Partridge take part. On Sunday Keith Gordon finished first V65. Well done to all.

Edale Skyline

Edale Skyline Fell Race is a category A long fell race held on an unmarked course covering high and exposed fell terrain in potential harsh conditions, however this year runners got glorious sunshine for a change. With over 21 miles and 4,505ft of climbing this wasn’t one for the faint hearted. The club had 3 runners complete the race. Including two who ran the northern relays the day before. Well done lads!
Club results:

Northern 6 & 12 Stage Relays

The Northern 6 and 12 stage relays took place at Stanley Park, Blackpool today. With the club fielding both a ladies and mens team. Massive well done has to go to John Broom for sorting the teams out as I know it hasn’t been easy to do. The ladies put in a stunning display against the best the north has to offer and in doing so qualified for the national relays in April at Sutton Park. Well done ladies!

The mens finished in the top 30 and also beat Barnsley AC to finish top Barnsley club and only Rotherham Harriers and Sheffield RC finishing above them out of all the South Yorkshire club, that alone is stunning. Plus if you take away the B team, the club finished 27th! Just missing out on qualification (top 25 qualify) by around 6 mins approx on the 25th place team over 12 legs. Below are the team results starting with the ladies:

32nd Penistone Footpath Runners 3:02:38(nn) is team position after the appropriate stage.

Long Mynd Valley

The first counter in FRA English Championship sponsored by Pete Bland Sports and inov8 took place today at the Long Mynd Valley race. The race was approx 11.5 miles with 4501ft of climbing. The race organiser considers new course is slightly harder than old course. That did not stop 5 members of the club from taking part. Well done to all those that raced on what turned out to be a glorious Saturday for racing.

Coniston 14

The Coniston 14 took place today with two members of the club making the long journey up to do the race. The 14 mile isn’t a popular distance so those that took part have a good chance to set or break club records and that’s exactly what David Needham did taking yet another V70 record. At the rate David is going he will have the full set!

parkrun results 25/3

Despite some big races this weekend, club members were once again out in force, with at least 9 age category first place finishes and at least 8 members got PB’s some excellent performances., particularly Gareth coming first overall at Barnsley and he is racing again later! and Jackie having a super alcohol fuelled performance at Concord coming first lady and a PB – well done all.

Pendle Hill Night Race

This past Wednesday night was the Pendle Hill Dark Dash Night Fell Race 2017 taking place at 7pm. The race is classified as a category B short race, approx 5.7 miles with 1148ft of climbing, one member from the club took part finishing 3rd overall, well done John.

Wolf’s Pit

The 3rd fell race that members of the club took part in was the popular Wolf’s Pit fell race. At 6 miles and 1500 ft of ascent (9.2Km / 467m) is a Short category A race which packs a punchy 600 ft climb almost from the off. The climb on well cropped runable (for the strong) grass takes you onto the open moor for some single track and open moorland running, a final sting in the tail ascent leads you back to the head of the original climb, where strength permitting you can extend your legs for a final race down to the finish field. The Wolfs Pit gets its name from a feature high on the Shatton / Abney Moors; “The Wolfs Pit” which the race route passes. First back for the club was Damian Kilpin.

XXV Caixabank Half Marathon Ciutat de Palma

While England battled the latest storm and high winds this past weekend. Daren Nockels got to enjoy the sunshine and early year heat over in Palma on a way to a new half marathon personal best at the lovely named XXV Caixabank Half Marathon Ciutat de Palma. He also was first V45 back so got to stand on the podium for his prize.

Windmill 6

As well as major UKA road races and FRA fell races, there was also a small local race taking place just outside Penistone at Birdsedge. This very low key race is 6 miles and takes you along a loop round the Windmills on the top of the hill side. In good conditions it most be very scenic but yesterday the 136 finishers were subjected to high winds and driving rain.

For some reason the organisers decided not to publish results with club names next to runners, so from looking at results I could only pick out one runner. If you did run this then let me know and will add you to the results.

East Hull 20

The traditional 20 miler race weekend happened today with 4 major 20 mile races taking place the Trimpell 20, Ashby 20, Gloucester 20 and the East Hull 20. For our club East Hull 20 was the one targeted and records tumbled with 2 long standing records crumbling. First back for club and new recruit was Gareth Cooke who finished 11th overall and smashed the overall club record for this distance. John Howsham set a new V50 record set way back in 1992 by Ray Brown.

What makes these most impressive was the conditions on the day made it one of the hardest East Hull races in recent memory.
